The Denmead family have for years fur

wick. They are eccentric and wealthy, yet
living in squalor, in wretched hovel under

many newspaper stories. For the past
two months rumors relative to the con-
dition OF Mrs. Samuel Denmead have been
flying about. 1t being impossible to secure
entrance to the hovel, owing to the fierce
conduct of Samuel Denmead. no one
solved the mystery until to-day. The
theory that Mrs. Denmead was dead
gained currency for two reasons, because
she had not been seen for over two months
and because her husband recently ordered

AN OFFICIAL REPORT.


New YORK, March S.-An official report
OF the accident says that three persons
were killed and seven others badly injured.
It appears that number OF passengers
left one OF the trains at Seventeenth street
and started to walk along a narrow track
to the station at Fourteenth street. While
doing SO the blockade was relieved and the
trains began to start. The motion shook
the pathway SO that number of passen-
gers were thrown to the street below with
the result as stated.
The narrow platform from which tho peo-
pie fell was hut two and one-half feet wide.
1t is used by trackmen when on duty and
above Fourteenth street is not provided
with hard rails. When the passengers left
the blocked cars and took to the platform
the gatemen OF the trains offered 40 objec-
tions, az they ought to have done. A long
line OF men was picking it's way slowly
when suddenly the train ahead started up
and began to move. The next one followed
suit and successive series OF jerks went
along the whole length OF the line up to the
last train.

AnaIyzing the Baking Powders,

Under the direction of the New York
State Board of Health, eighty-fOur different
kinds of baking powders, embracing all the
brands that could be found for sale in the
State, were submitted to examination and
analysis by Prof. c. +. CHASDLER,a men,
Der of the State Board and President of the
New York City Board of Health, assisted
by Prof. EDWARD G. LOVE, the we'll
known United States Government chemist.
The official report shows that large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime: many of
them to such an extent as TO render them
seriously Objectionable for use in the prep
aration of human food.
Alum was found in twenty nine samples.
This drug is employed in baking powders
to cheaper their cost. The presence Of
lime is attributed to the impure cream of
tartar of commerce used in their manu-
facture. Such cream of tartar was also
analyZed. and found to contain lime and
other impurities; in some samples TO the eX
tent of 93 per cent. of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market,
with the single exception of Royal" (nOt
including the alum and phosphate powders,
which were long since discarded as unsafe
or inefficient by prudent hOusekeepers) are
made from the impure cream of tartar of
commerce, and consequently contain lime to
a corresponding extent.
The only bak NJ powder yet found by
chemical ANALYSIS TO be entirely free from
lime and absolutely pure is tn" Royal" This
perfect purity results from the exclusive use
of cream of tartar specially refined and
prepared by patent processes which totally
remove the tlTtrate of lime and other impur
tiles. The cost of this chemically pure
cream of tartar is much greater than any
other, and on account of this greater cost is
used in no baking powder but the Royal"
Prof LOVE, who made the analysis of
baking powders for the New York State
Board of Health. as well as for the Govern
ment, says Of the purity and wholesome
ness of the Royal"
Il have tested package of Royal Baking
Powder which | purchased in the open mar
ket, and find it composed of pure and
wholesome ingredients. Ii is cream of
tartar powder of a high degree of merit,
and does not contain either alum or phOs-
phate or any Injurious substance.

HER OWN DAUGHTER.
Mrs. Mary Butler Elects Her Own Flesh
and Blood for So Rents-An Unnatural
Mother.

Mrs. Mary Butler Elects Her Own Flesh
Mother.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mary Butler.
who has come into some nOtOriety
as the mother of tie young scamp
who ruined Mary E. Dillon, got out writ
of restitution before Squire Stout against
Mrs. John Mack to eject the latter from
house on Pleasant street. uear the East
street shops. Mrs. Mack keeps restaurant
and boarding house at the place named.
Her husband is railroader, and she is re-
ported by the neighbOrs to be a quiet,
peaceable woman. At this time she is
within few days of confinement, and is
not in condition to bear any excitement
or exposure. The amount in which she is
in arrears is SIS.
Constable Vanderburg, much against his
own sense of decency and justice,
commenced setting the furniture in
the street. When he had about
half finished the job. he learned from the
neighbors that Mrs. Mack is
MRS. BUTLER's OWN DAUGHTER.
The officer could hardly believe the evidence
of his own senses, but inquiry developed
the statement TO be the entire truth. There
upon Constable Vanderburg went to Mrs.
Butler and expostulated with her upon the
brutality of her coarse in turning her
daughter into the street, but Mrs. Butler
wouldn't listen 10 him and demanded that
the writ be executed and the keys restored
to her. There was no alternative but for
the officer to complete his unwelcnme task.
Mrs Mack ElSD nIeaip1 with her unnatural
mother that her furniture be allowed to re-
main in the house until she could find a
place of shelter. Even this poor privilege
was denied. and Mrs. Mack was driven out
into the freezing cold to care for her furni-
ture as best she could. The neighbors are
much wrought up over the case,
